“Healthy Teeth”
February has been designated National Pet Dental Month by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Chew on this information:
Poor dental care can cause a number of ailments such as plaque/tartar build-up, gingivitis, tooth loss, periodontal disease, and mouth sores. Chronic teeth ailments can also contribute towards heart, kidney, liver and lung disease! Since the [...]

I get teased at times on my discussion list, Healthy Aussies. Frequently I am referencing Dr. Pitcairn or a statement or information from his Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. There is now a revised edition, Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats, 3rd Edition. Now, I’m tempted to purchase this [...]

Giving pills to my dogs is a breeze and they love it! No kidding. These three are lined up anxiously waiting their turn to get their pill. It should not be necessary with any dog to fight with them or force a pill down their throat.
Only one of the dogs is really getting a pill [...]
Vet Arrested for Cruelty

I was appalled to read a news report about a veterinarian in Tennessee who has been charged on cruelty-related offences. They actually have some video footage to back up some of the charges. He was also falsifying records.
You can read the same news story online at the Tennessean to get more of the specific details, and [...]
What about vaccinations for your dog?
Posted in Vaccinations, tagged canines, Dog Care, dogs, pets on January 3, 2008 | 5 Comments »
“Almost without exception there is no immunologic requirement for annual revaccination. Immunity to viruses persists for years or for the life on the animal. The practice of annual (pet) vaccinations lacks scientific validity or verification. The practice of annual vaccination in our opinion should be considered of questionable efficacy unless it is used as a [...]

Bad grammar aside, dogs don’t care! While I’m taking a wee bit of a hiatus, I thought I’d share a couple photos of two of my three dogs. It may be minus 20 below Celsius but they still need to be taken outside for a run and some fun. Have some fun with your dog(s) [...]

When I read news reports of things like this, I nearly come to tears simply at the thought. This news story may serve as a reminder to us all about the possible dangers of leaving our dogs at kennels.
After leaving their dog in the hands of a kennel over the Thanksgiving holiday, a Corinth couple [...]
